Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the pie crust by combining all-purpose flour and kosher salt in a food processor. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap, and chill.
- Par-bake the crust by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled crust and fit into a pie plate. Freeze for 15 minutes, dock with a fork, fill with weights, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
- Prepare the filling by lowering the oven to 325°F (163°C). Whisk together apple butter, eggs, dark brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix in sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
- Bake the pie by pouring the filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 30 minutes, shift to the bottom for an additional 10-15 minutes. The custard should be slightly jiggly in the center. Cool on a wire rack.
- Cool and top by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cooled pie, drizzling extra apple butter on top if desired.
- Slice and serve the pie at room temperature or chilled, enjoying with friends and family.

Notes
Chill ingredients for a flaky crust. Allow proper cooling time for the pie to set before slicing.
